Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

The campus offers a good variety of food and dining options for students. From the DC (dining commons) to the Otter Express and Monty's...you get a good selection, good value for the money and many tasty treats. Also, for those late nights when you are up working late studying and need that caffeine jolt, you can always stop by Starbucks to get what you need. And to think all these options are just a quick walk/jog across campus.

The school has it's own dining area, with random chefs that come around and cook particular foods-only open during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have a little snack shack that you can go to, that's open throughout the day.

Food options are minimal at CSUMB. Most students at this university laugh when they think of other universities that have multiple restaurants, pubs, sushi bars etc. There are minimal places to receive food at CSUMB, and often people complain about the low quality of food that is offered. The options may seem plentiful upon first arriving, but most students quickly grow a distaste for the main dining hall (nicknamed the DC). There is a student restaurant that provides higher quality food for a higher price, as well as the Otter Express which provides quick, on-the-go items.

Food and dining is something students often complain about. There are three food options in CSUMB. Dinning Campus (Buffet style), Otter Express(mainly for fast food and sandwhiches) and Otter Bay restaurant. The dinning commons is the cheapest option but it is crowded. Over all the food that they serve is passable. There are some sections that change everyday and there are others that stay the same. The otter express is tastier but generally less healthy and more expensive. The otter express also looks nicer because it was just remodeled. The otterbay restaurant has the best food but they offer food at restaurant prices obviously.
Although people complain about the food places they are great places to socialize and meet people. For me personally, the only time I socialize (being that I have so little time) is when I go to the Dinning Commons to eat.
In conclusion the food is passable but the experience is good.

Student Responses to Review Topic: Greek Life

I don't know much myself about the Greek Life on campus. I know that we don't really have any national Greeks that other schools have. Our Kappa Sigmas get a lot of crap about certain allegations against them. Also, a lot of our sororities and frats will say they are diverse in race and ethnicity but they don't really prove it.

As mentioned above, there is no greek row and greek life seems pale in comparison to larger universities such as Fresno State. However, sororities and fraternities are still present on campus and often affiliated members are eager to get involved in community organizations.

Greek Life was almost non-existent on campus up until about 5 years ago - since then it has exploded. However, it is not so prevalent that students who are NOT interested in Greek Life will feel excluded.
